3D Printed Kayak From Homemade 3D Printer

[Locutus]

It's one thing to 3D print your own kayak, it's another to trust it enough to actually climb in it and float down a river. And the chutzpah meter goes off the charts when it's all done with a 3D printer you completely designed and made yourself at home. That's exactly what Jim Smith did though, and he's calling it "the world's first 3D printed kayak."

At 16 feet 8 inches, the kayak is made of 28 multi-colored pieces held together with machine screws, brass threaded inserts and silicone caulk.

Right. In the article they called it a 'bay" kayak. Does it look like bay kayak to you? Can we get your stamp of approval?
